MESSIAH: REDEEMER & SAVIOR
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Messiah
a) Understanding the Messiah or Christ is the first and foremost requirement for spiritual enlightenment. Paul makes a most comprehensive statement of who and what Christ is.
b) The two titles, Messiah and Christ, are synonymous and interchangeable. “Messiah” is the Hebrew for which “Christ” is the Greek equivalent. The basic meaning of these titles is The Anointed One.
2. Redeemer And Savior
a) Paul says that we have redemption, forgiveness, and reconciliation through Christ (Colossians 1:14,21-22). God "made peace through the blood of his cross" (Colossians 1:20). All who have been "buried with him in baptism" are in a happy state: "He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions" (Colossians 2:13). Our condemnation has been nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14). So this is where understanding the Messiah leads you. He is "Christ in you the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27-28).
